    Hi all. I hope someone can help me. I'm going on holidays in 2 weeks, and want to get my bikini body sorted! I've always been a size 6-8 normally, and have been lucky enough never to really need to watch what I eat or exercise but now, unfortunately, my dodgy lifestyle seems to be finally catching up with me, and I'm developing a bit of a potbelly.
    I'm both too broke and too unfit to join a gym, so am just looking for some exercises I can do at home that'll help me to make some sort of start on losing my belly. I'm not expecting miracles or anything, but I'd really appreciate it if anyone knew of any exercises that could get me started. Thanks!

    Two weeks to undo possibly months of bad diet is asking for miracles. But as has been said, watch your diet rigidly. Drink lots of water. Try compound exercises like get ups, along with cardio.

    This has only become an issue now? Hmm well you could start by cutting out the booze and take-aways before you go away.The money you save could be put away for joining a gym when you get back. hmm you could walk too, that's always a good one. As long as you have legs. Then you can go on holiday slam back a load of tall orders and get hammered.
    Lay on the beach bake on each side for 30-40 minutes then go for a drink and a takeaway you are on holiday after all. ;) Then when you get back, you will be relieved that you put a bit away and and it will be even better value tahn before you went on holiday.

    Hey, thanks for the replies and advice. I know it's a bit much to be expecting any real results in 2 weeks, I suppose I'm really just trying to be proactive, and this is as good a reason as any to start getting fit. Had a dinner of steamed veg today (totally out of my normal comfort zone!) and am going to give those get ups a try now too.

    Thanks again!
